North did not hesitate as she went before Abraham while everyone watched. “Mr. Abraham.”

Instantly, Gerald’s jaw clenched.

Abraham chuckled and smoothly took North’s bag. “Was traffic bad?”

North carded her fingers through her hair. “Yes, that’s why I’m a bit late. Did I hold you up?”

Connor gulped. Since when had North and Abraham gotten so close?

He looked at Gerald’s expression cautiously, but he did not see anything amiss.

The only clue was Gerald’s eyes. They held a storm in them as Gerald clenched his fists. It looked like he was doing his best to endure this.

Abraham nodded slightly. “Gerald, the banquet has started. Let’s go inside together.”

North occasionally looked up and said something to Abraham. Listening to her, he would nod gently.

It looked like they were the married couple here. They seemed like the perfect match.

Gerald felt a pang in his heart, and it was like there was something lodged in his throat. Even breathing felt painful.

    North snorted. Before Connor could get his words out, she walked into the crowd.Everyone was stunned by North’s behavior. “Ms. North, do you know Mr. Gerald?”Casually, she replied, “Yes, but not well.”If North did not know Gerald well, how dare she talk to him that way?!“Ms. North, maybe you don’t know this, but Mr. Gerald isn’t someone we can afford to offend.”“That’s right. I think it’s best if you don’t talk to him too much. If you piss him off, we won’t be able to protect you.”“But Mr. Gerald is being very strange today. Doesn’t he usually overlook these events? Not only did he come tonight, but he looks like he’s here with a grudge. We didn’t even do anything to upset him.”North fiddled with her hair a little. She said absentmindedly, “He must have woken up on the wrong side of the bed.”Everyone shut up.Could North really not be close to Gerald? It looked like North was behaving very rudely to him.After eating a few bites of food, North accidentally dirtied her

    Abraham paused his knocking. “Gerald?”North immediately wanted to push Gerald away. Unexpectedly, he held onto her waist and bit her lip in punishment.She moaned. She felt like she was going to combust!Gerald said casually, “Mr. Abraham, please leave.”Abraham replied, “I want to take North away.”Gerald suddenly laughed. He asked meaningfully, “Are you so bored that you have to insert yourself in our business as a married couple, Mr. Abraham?”The lounge went silent. North felt like she was going to faint.How shameless could Gerald be? North still cared about her reputation!North took several deep breaths to steady herself before speaking. “M-Mr. Abraham, I’ll be there right away. Don’t worry.”Only then did Abraham nod. “If that’s the case, I’ll head back now. If you need help with anything, you can call me, Ms. North.”After a moment, once there was no more noise outside the door, North’s legs went weak, and she collapsed into Gerald’s embrace.Gerald looked at her u

    North gritted out, “The end of December is Reina’s birthday. The whole world knows that you’ve agreed to celebrate her birthday and will even go to the Myers residence!”Gerald lowered his gaze. “I will be going to the Myers residence and celebrating someone’s birthday, that’s true. But who said that it was Reina’s?”Who said that it was Reina’s?Who else but Reina herself?A thought occurred to North, but Gerald spoke up before she could respond. “Isn’t the 29th of December also your birthday?“North, do you think I’d leave you alone on your birthday and spend it with Reina?”North felt the world go quiet around her. She felt a burst of hope in her heart. “I… You…” She trailed off.“You have the same birthday as Reina, but the Myers family are only throwing her a birthday banquet. Of course, I have to go over there and make a fuss about that for you.”Gerald’s tone was calm as he continued, “The Myers family treats Reina like she’s a gem. However, I will let everyone know on t

    Gerald was a pervert?He put on a fake smile and looked at North.For some reason, North felt quite sheepish although she had not been the one to say anything. Hold on, what was she feeling guilty for? It was Gerald’s own fault for being so unreasonable and kissing her!Thinking of that, North glared back at Gerald.Gerald held a high position in society. As such, the other guests did not dare to offend him. “Mr. Gerald’s back.”“What a coincidence that Mr. Gerald got back right after Ms. North did. If we didn’t know better, we would have thought that it was intentional.”A lump formed in North’s throat. She was about to say something when someone hesitantly asked, “Mr. Gerald… Um… Why do Mr. Gerald’s lips look swollen too? Could it be that…” The person trailed off.Alarm bells instantly started ringing in North’s head. Oh no, had they guessed the truth?If people found out that she and Gerald had been kissing in the lounge, she would be done for!No, her reputation would be r

    North’s mouth tightened. Abraham looked at Gerald and said meaningfully, “I didn’t know you had so many women interested in you, Gerald. I really envy you. Wouldn’t you say so, Ms. North?”North tried to shove her feelings down, but it did not work. She said sarcastically, “That’s true. Mr. Gerald is truly Peacevale’s most eligible bachelor. Everyone wants a piece of him.”When Gerald calmly glanced at North’s lips, she gulped.Gerald’s gaze did not stray. His tone was unwavering as he said, “I’m sorry, but I don’t know you.”The waitress’ eyes were filled with tears.“Mr. Gerald, have you really forgotten me? I only want to repay your kindness. I don’t want anything else. I’d be willing to be your maid if you’d like. Could you give me a chance to serve you?”She paused and said pointedly, “Don’t worry, I can do whatever you want, whether it’s to take care of you intimately or anything else.”The attendees exchanged glances with each other. The waitress was simply being too ob

    Things would have been fine if Gerald had not mentioned anything. But since he did, North could not help but speak sarcastically. “Oh, but isn’t all that simply because you’re too charismatic, Mr. Gerald? You have too many women interested in you.”Gerald suddenly let out a laugh. North pressed her lips together. “What are you looking at me for? Aren’t I right?!”“Mrs. Howard, couldn’t you tell who it was who sent that waitress?”“What do you mean?”Gerald looked away. “Forget it if you didn’t see through it.”North was speechless. What was Gerald doing? Leaving her in suspense would cause her to be sleepless tonight!…Meanwhile, the waitress had left the ballroom amidst the ruckus. Then, she quickly made a phone call. “Mr. Nathan, the mission is complete. Mr. Gerald has taken Ms. North and left.”Nathan’s tone was one of excitement. “Did he really take North away there and then?”The waitress replied, “That’s right. Mr. Gerald said he was afraid his wife would get jealou

    From then on, those strangers had become North’s family. There was nothing romantic to it, and it did not involve any monetary gain. That was because North was a good person. As such, there would always be people in this world who would treat her well in earnest.Gerald never had such people around him in the past. That was why he had grown up in such a frigid and loveless landscape.He thought that it was pretty great that North could have people who loved and cared for her even though they were not related by blood.…The next day, at Peacevale University, the truth about the matter with Reina had come out. North was not only not the perpetrator but rather the victim.She was immediately allowed to return to class. Meanwhile, many of her cohorts also felt bad for her.Once the last class was over, someone said quietly, “Melinda didn’t come to class today.”“It would be such a joke if she dared to show up. Didn’t she always swear that North was an evil person? Now the truth is

    When she got into the elevator, Reina’s heart was filled with sweetness.When other people wanted to see Gerald, they would have to make an appointment. Meanwhile, she only had to give her name to have someone escort her to his door.This kind of special treatment relieved Reina.She stood before the door of Gerald’s office and fixed her hair. She put on a delighted smile and knocked on the door. She asked sweetly, “Gerald, can I come in?”…Meanwhile, within the office, North blinked as she looked around. She was trying to find somewhere in the office to hide.Gerald’s eyes narrowed. “What are you looking for, Mrs. Howard?”North lowered her voice. “I’m giving you some private time with Reina, of course. Aren’t I such a considerate person?”Reina definitely had something she wanted from Gerald if she was here. What if Reina refused to open up if North was here?North was curious as to what Reina wanted. That was why she decided to look for a place to hide.Gerald could tell

    He moved his wrists and frowned.Did North sleep for the entire day? Was she disoriented?North sat by the bed with nothing to do. She watched as time passed. Strange, why wasn’t she awake yet? Was she that sleepy? Could it be that the advanced exam questions were too difficult and she did not want to wake up?North could not help but think about the questions. Hmm… they did not seem very difficult. She had thought of a solution!Indeed, people had endless potential when they were dreaming. They could even come up with answers to such difficult questions!North was afraid that she would forget and wanted to wake up quickly, but no matter how hard she tried, she could not wake up. She closed her eyes and opened them again, but she was still in the room.North frowned and muttered to herself, “What’s going on…?”Gerald looked at her silently.He also wanted to ask what was going on.“North, do you need my help?”North hesitated. Even though it was a dream, she was still a littl

    North exclaimed in surprise.It turned out that Gerald could be sarcastic too!Gerald did not give Patricia any time to react. He was just short of chasing the entire Bracken family out.While the Bracken family was leaving, Gerald heard Mike grumble, “Mom… If you knew this was going to happen, why didn’t you adjust your act earlier!”Patricia was furious. “I did all of this for you. How could you fall for Gerald’s tricks?!”“But Gerald was right. They suspect that I’m not Paige’s son because of you!”…Giselle’s smile became more and more sarcastic. When the Bracken family disappeared, he said, “Accompany me pay respects to Paige. Also, get someone to clean Glass Manor inside and out.”He wanted to get rid of the bad vibes the Bracken family had brought in.…A few days later, when they returned to Royal Sights Residences, the Bracken family actually stopped causing trouble.North was about to graduate, and she had one final exam. She saw the class group chat exchanging adva

    “Why? Do you think that I’ve forgotten how Paige died?”Giselle never expected that this shameless family would have the audacity to make an issue out of Paige’s death.“You make it sound so simple. Even if Patricia dies today, you would never disregard her last wishes. Is everything you do for the good of the Bracken family?“Still, the only person the Bracken family has ever had to sacrifice was Paige!”Virgil snapped, “Nonsense! I’m Paige’s biological father, how could I…”Giselle sneered. “Stop putting on an act. You didn’t look for your daughter when she was missing. You didn’t feel sorry for your daughter when she returned. You kept asking her to tolerate the adopted daughter. When she was sick, you even stopped her treatment so that she would die and let your adopted daughter marry her husband.“Virgil, I’m sick. I’m not dead yet, and I haven’t lost my memory. If this happens again, I’ll destroy the entire Bracken family!”Giselle looked at the bodyguards she had brought

    The surroundings suddenly fell silent.Virgil found it hard to breathe. “Let go! Are you crazy?!”“I’m asking you a question. Where is Paige buried? Tell me!”Virgil’s brain was deprived of oxygen. Without thinking, he roared, “How would I know? Let go, you crazy woman!”Patricia screamed, “Madam Giselle, what are you doing? Let go of him. Do you want Dad to die?”Gerald’s second uncle also shouted, “Madam Giselle, why are you doing this to us? Don’t treat your husband like this!”“You don’t know? You don’t know at all, do you?” Giselle ignored everyone. She looked unremorseful. She scoffed.“You claim to be severely depressed about your daughter’s death,” Giselle retorted. “Despite that, you actually don’t know where your daughter’s grave is!”As soon as she finished speaking, the entire place fell silent.When Virgil realized what he had just said, his face turned pale and he stopped screaming. He trembled as he spoke to Giselle hatefully. “You did this on purpose…”That wa

    Mike said weakly, “North, we paid our respects to my mother before we went out today. We didn’t say anything because we were afraid that Grandpa wouldn’t be able to accept it.”As expected, Virgil clutched his chest and looked like he was about to faint.Patricia cried out, “Gerald, are you satisfied now that your grandfather is trembling in anger? We’ve kept it a secret for so many years. Despite that…”Everyone sighed. So, that was how it was.It was indeed Ms. Paige’s death anniversary today. However, the old man had fallen into a state of depression from the intense guilt. He then mistakenly thought that his daughter had passed away in May.As his family, Patricia and Mike could not bear to make the old man feel more guilty. Thus, they maintained the facade.In fact, they would pay their respects to Paige every year.This made sense. After all, Virgil was old and could not stand such harsh emotions.The people from the Bracken family jumped on this chance to scold Gerald. “

    Everyone was dumbfounded. North was really bold!North blinked. “What’s wrong, Mr. Virgil? Why are you so angry? Did I say something wrong?”“What nonsense! Paige is my daughter! How could I intentionally let her die?!”North widened her eyes. “I didn’t say that you intentionally let her die! It’s just that the Bracken family didn’t like her and looked down on her. The medical staff didn’t care about her either. In the end, they didn’t even treat her and let her die.“I know. It’s not your fault. After all, you were so busy. How could you have the time to take care of a daughter you don’t love?”Virgil clutched his chest. “What nonsense…! Shut up!”“North!” Patricia screamed. “Gerald, are you just going to watch her anger your grandfather? Your grandfather’s health isn’t good…”“What did I say wrong?”North sighed. “Look at what Mr. Virgil said. Ms. Paige passed away at the end of May, so why didn’t he treat her for two whole months from the end of March to the end of May?“Th

    Mike knew that he had fallen into North’s trap and was speechless!He was so anxious that his expression changed. His forehead was covered in cold sweat, and huge beads of sweat dripped down. “Um… I…”“Mike!” Patricia saw that the situation was not good, so she hurriedly interrupted Mike and pulled him behind her.Then, she took a deep breath and pretended to be helpless and upset.“Gerald, what nonsense are you talking about?! We’re family. If you have anything you’re upset about, just tell me. There’s no need to cause trouble at the banquet and make an issue out of Paige’s death anniversary!“We’re all Paige’s family, and Dad is also Paige’s biological father. How can we not know when her death anniversary is?“Paige’s death anniversary is at the end of May. It’s not today at all. You… You’re too much!”Virgil looked aggrieved. He nodded and said, “That’s right. Paige’s death anniversary is in May. Gerald, I know you don’t want to give up her inheritance. Moreover, I didn’t fo

    Everyone’s eyes fell on Gerald.Gerald looked up slowly and said calmly, “Ms. Patricia, why did you choose today to hold a banquet for Mike?”“It doesn’t matter what day I chose!” Patricia roared.“So, you did choose the date.”Gerald looked down at Patricia from above. His cold gaze made Patricia suddenly feel suffocated.Her “son” had a murderous look in his eyes. “Any other day would have been fine, but not today.”Patricia hated the look in Gerald’s eyes the most. Why was he so arrogant? Why was he looking down on her? Why was he like that b*tch?She screamed, “Gerald, I’m your mother! Mike is your brother! It’s fine if you don’t love me, but you keep finding fault with me. What right do you have—”“Today is the anniversary of Paige’s death.”Gerald interrupted her.Patricia’s face turned pale, and the words that she wanted to say were stuck in her throat. The scene instantly fell silent.What did Gerald say? What day was it today?Today was the anniversary of Paige’s d

    Patricia felt a lump in her throat. “You…”“Connor, come out.” North interrupted her.Then, a group of people dressed in black walked out of nowhere and played mournful music. Connor walked in the middle and placed a memorial tablet on the table.Everyone looked at the memorial tablet curiously, wanting to know whose memorial tablet it was. When everyone saw the name “Paige”, they instantly fell silent.North and Gerald paid their respects. Then, they placed the bouquets beside the memorial tablet.Their actions stunned everyone.Had they come to pay respects to Paige?Patricia was trembling. She stared fixedly at Paige’s name on the memorial tablet. She clenched her fists.Paige!Gerald had paid his respects to Paige at a banquet for Mike. Was he crazy?! She was so unlucky! Paige was already dead, but she was still the center of attention at Mike’s banquet!After paying her respects, North turned around. “What are you waiting for? Aren’t you going to pay your respects?”
